First, learn to spell, lol Tony, It's all good, I would say go for the ir3. But if you like the feel of cockers go for the sand ridge. But, the only reason you would get a sand ridge is to be able to shoot bursts or auto. Now the ir3 is totally different. It's semi auto based only. With the sand ridge you will use so much paint if you use auto. And you will be spending a ton more money on a new sand ridge than an ir3. Hope this helps bud.

Here's what I tell our guys when they ask about different PB guns. This applies to most everything we got.

Angel: always reliable, simple maintenance, always shoots well, high rate of fire, easy to shoot fast, real accurate at medium and short range, lots of parts & accessories available, lots of technical info around, many shops have techs, parts easy to find
Overall: reliable & always there

Any cocker or cocker based gun: accurate with good paint/barrel match, always need to keep in good tune and properly timed for your style of play, must always check everything (settings) to make sure it performs at 100%, must spent time maintaining it to keep it in top working order, when working great - it's hard to beat. Faster shooting cockers need to be kept finely tuned. Keep it happy and you'll get the most out of it.

Overall: When you get a "high strung" cocker running at a 100%, it's great. When it's not working right, grab the backup gun or Angel. (I also got a ton of spare parts for the cockers to keep them going @100%).

FYI: We have many cockers such as: STO, Revenge V.1, SFL, Race gun and other custom cockers. I also shoot a Cobra LCD and C&C IR3, and I recently got a GZ along to add to our other PB guns. So we have a lot of first hand experience with all sorts of PB guns.

I hope it helps.
